I think that is a great idea, it should simplify things a bit.
NWORPSS Site and Talkgroup Discussion
- Thread starter budman1234
- Start date
Up until about a month ago, I was able to receive NWORPSS on my SDS100 here in Fremont. I understand from this talkgroup and RadioReference that they are undergoing major reshuffling. I have kept up on current changes to the talkgroups but have not heard a thing for the last several weeks. I know that they are broadcasting because I can monitor them on Broadcastify, but am at a loss as to why they no longer can be heard here. I wonder if they cut back the tower signal to a smaller footprint?

I want to say that they only broadcast on the Lucas co simulcast towers. Which site are you monitoring
I have both the Bowling Green and Toledo sites programmed in but in the past only ever heard anything on the Toledo sites.
I was amazed when I first got the SDS100 (last Christmas) that it could pick up the NWORPSS while my Whistler TRX1 could not. I am at a loss as to why they have suddenly disappeared from this location.

thats very wiers. Are you certian you have both sites programmed in? im sorry to keep asking that but can you try to just program the control channels and see what happens?
I tried setting up a single frequency P25 system but still no reception. I believe that they have reduced the power to a smaller footprint that does not include my area. I will leave the site in my SDS100 just in case there is another reason for the loss of signal here.

thats awesome!!! glad its working for you now. i did see they were adding a marcs tower somewhere. Maybe this had something to do with the signal loss for a bit

Thank you! It's a headache for me programming useless talkgroups.
It should; As long as the carrier delivers the correct location to the PSAP.
Has anyone here used the Unication G5 to monitor NWORPSS. I live in Waterville. Just looking for any feedback on how well the G5 will work.

I have a G4 and it works perfectly.
Thanks for the reply. I have a SDS200 that I have at home. I’m thinking about getting a G4 or G5 for my truck

I have both a G4 and a G5 that monitor NWORPSS from Southeast Michigan quite well.
Thanks I appreciate that information.
I live in Curtice (east of Northwood) and listen to Toledo and surrounding, the G5 works great. It's a fantastic little radio. The only problem I run into is at night when we close the blinds in the living room sometimes the signal gets weak. It's the only room in the house I have an issue with. I've got a longer rubber antenna coming and a cheap mobile one I'm going to try on the outside of the house.
Thanks for the feedback. I was going to order one today. If you’re having issues in Curtice I think I’ll wait and see if I get anymore responses. I live out in Waterville. So I’m further out than anyone who has responded. My SDS200 with a Remtronix antenna works great out here. Even my 996T with a Remtronix will work reasonably well ( on some days ).
